Tara Reid Laments Wild Girl Rep !

NEW YORK - Tara Reid wants to prove she's a great actress instead of a party girl.

The actress says the media has unfairly represented her and that she just needs a good movie to break the stereotype.

"I think there must be a journalist school where students are taught how to kill Tara Reid," the 29-year-old actress says in a Steppin' Out magazine issue on newsstands Oct. 12.

"The one thing I want to say about American journalists is: why is partying and having a good time bad?" Reid says. "And how come when someone else gets messed up or is a junkie or gets DUI'd and goes to rehab and is considered a hero again?"

Reid says she doesn't plan to go that route because she'd be "admitting guilt for something I'm not guilty of." Instead, she has fired her publicist and hopes to find a good role because the 'wild girl' reputation is hurting her career.

"I need one more great movie role so they say, `Wow, she can act! She's a great actress.' Then I think they'll leave me alone."

Oh, voiceanth! You're nothing if not consistent! LOL....

And if she thinks she can act, she should rent "Van Wilder," material which is, believe it or not, beyond her abilities...

I LOVED Van Wilder!

I thought it was the cinematic equals of "Brooklyn" but without the medula piercing screams...

I wish they had given the role of Catherine in PROOF to Tara Reid, instead of that talentless, classless hack, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Oh, poor poor Tara Reid. I'm crying onto my keyboard.

I think that, with the right script, she can be quite good.

I love that when you do a photo search of Tara, every picture has her drunk, crying, falling over, and with a boob or ass hanging out.

Tara does not understand - She IS her greatest role!

Totally. But she still does need a source of income. What could she do for "work?"

LOL!! Should we really go there...

Of course we're going there!

One option is to go the Anna Nicole route. She needs corporate sponsorship.

She could shill for Brillo and Nyquil

I love Van Wilder too, but she is NOT funny in it--it calls for a smart and sexy Diane Keaton/Karen Allen type, which she is not.

She should just keep doing what she does best, which is red carpet appearances. I would like to see her have a crack at the classics, though, just for my own amusement.

Like what, Casablanca? She might do well in Born Yesterday, but no one can compare to Melanie Griffith.

I was thinking CLASSIC classics, like Shakespeare. Tara and Melanie in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" might be the shot- that could be something Keneth Branagh could look into.

Ahhh, yes, well then. Maybe in a few years she could be in the next revival of Streetcar, also starring Chad Michael Murray and Rachel Bilson as Stella.

Tara's idea of cracking the classics is doing bumps off Joe Dallesandro's d*ck on the floor of Studio 54...not that I blame her

[Love4Cheno]

Hot!

[Unknown User]

Posted: 9/30/05 at 5:59pm

Joe Dallesandro?

Studio 54?

What is this 1978?

I think Tara should come to BROADWAY first - do something light - ya know, a revival of the Miracle Worker, something, then she can go back to Hollywood and hold her tats high....

"The one thing I want to say about American journalists is: why is partying and having a good time bad?"

That sound you hear is me laughing my ass off at the very idea that getting so f***ing s**tfaced that you can't stand up is "having a good time."

Her greatest role to date was bringing cartoon airhead Melody Valentine to life in JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS.

and in all fairness the cartoon character acted better than she did.
